First I must apologize for my paranthesis. I debated whether to put it in 
or not, and decided to put it in for dramatic effect (and because there 
have been proposed some pretty stupid ideas on account on 
'experimentation' in the past) figuring that you wouldn't be offended. I 
was in error, and I apologize for the offence.

The issue here is a technical one. Computers rely on standards to speak 
with each other. These must follow the rules set down in the technical 
specifications or the system breaks down. So when the spec says 'you must 
include a <link> element which points to the HTML page for your channel', 
you better fucking do that. If you don't like the standard, get a new 
version adopted, use another standard, but don't send faulty data down the 
line.
